GOING: S(5)

FURNACE & THE FUNDAMENTALS LIVE 11 MAY SUPER MAIDEN PLATE 1000m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 18)   Rail: Out 4m Entire.  

Always plenty of early pressure in sprint races such as this with a large number of first starters. BUCARELI BAY (11) is back from a five-month break. Only raced once last prep, showing plenty of pace but knocking up at the end of 1200m at Scone. Trialling well and 1000m around Gosford looks the ideal scenario. POCKET EIGHTS (2) was in the market on debut last start over this distance at Wyong but couldn't quicken after racing wide without cover and dropped out. Draws a better gate today and can improve sharply. Ciaron Maher's MISS TRUSTFUL (10) makes her debut on the back of a solid recent Warwick Farm trial. Nicely drawn and any market confidence should be respected. VINROSA (7) is facing the starter for the first time. By I Am Invincible from a Teofilo mare. Trial form is plain but expect Joe Pride has kept something for race day. OMNIC (8) is trialling well and looks ready to run well on debut. SUGGESTED PLAY: Fancy Bucareli Bay.
